People are sharing more and more photos and videos every day. Mobile networks remain fragile, however. Platform APIs are also often a mess and every project builds its own file uploader. There are a thousand one-week projects that barely work when all we need is one real project. One project was done right. We are the ones who are going to do this right. Our aim is to solve the problem of unreliable file uploads once and for all. tus is a new open protocol for resumable uploads built on HTTP. It offers simple, cheap, and reusable stacks for clients and servers. It supports any language, any platform, and any network. It may seem to be an impossible dream. Perhaps that is because no-one has managed to solve it yet. Still, we are confident and we are going to give it our best shot. Join us on GitHub and help us make the world a better place.
Features
- Built as a layer on top of the popular HTTP protocol
- tus is ready for use in production
- The specification only requires a very small set of features to be implemented by clients and servers
- tus nevertheless features a sizable list of extensions that introduce additional functionality
- We believe in an open and accessible evolution of this protocol
- At any stage since the beginning of tus, feedback has been appreciated and integrated
